SIDELIGHTS:

Michael H. Hoffheimer told CA: "As a professor of law trained in the humanities, I combine an active agenda of traditional legal research focusing on criminal law, conflict of laws, and court systems with research on the history of culture and ideas. To my career-long study of the philosophy of G.W.F. Hegel, I have added in recent years some work on the history of race, film, and popular culture. My passion for music motivates several projects aimed at amateur fiddlers, and my anachronistic affinity for social reform and romanticism fuel ongoing research on Bollywood."
